Garlic Rolls/Buns

I love garlic bread and am an ardent fan of Texas Toast. We always stock them in our freezer. As a garlic lover, I should have tried this buns/ rolls before, Yes, I tried once from the Raks Kitchen and pretty happy with it , but only the buns. This time I wanted to give a try both buns n rolls together as the dough required for both is the same. Basically, I've used a pizza dough which I referred from food network star Tyler Florenceand much satisfied with the result. Njoy !!!

Ingredients :

Pizza Dough : ( For Rolls/Buns)

1 package active dry yeast

1 tsp sugar

1 cup + 1 tbsp warm water (100 to 110 degrees F.)

1/2 tsp Salt (acc to taste)

3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for bowl

Method :

In a small bowl, combine the yeast,sugar ,salt and the warm water. Mix well and sit for 5 to 10 mts to let the yeast foam.

Take the flour in a big bowl and make a well in the center. Add the olive oil and the yeast mixture in the well and mix along with the flour. Make a soft and pliable dough( not so sticky ) and work on the dough for minimum 5 minutes.

Apply olive oil on the top of the dough and on the sides of the bowl sparingly and cover with a plastic wrap / moist muslin cloth and let sit in the warm place for the dough to get raised.Do not disturb the settings for 1 hour.

Later ,it should have doubled the volume and now start punching the dough so that all the air goes out. Again make a round ball and apply some oil on the top as well as the sides. Again cover and sit for 30 minutes.

Punch the dough again and divide the dough into two equal portions, one for rolls and the other for buns.
